TURKEY FATTENED ON RANGE Flesh Gains in Flavor and Tenderness in Way lt Cannot If Fovi is Confined. It is Jost as important to have turk eys In good plump condition before marketing as it ls chickens. However, a good many farmers regard this as a 'hard job simply because there is con siderable misunderstanding as to the correct way to go about the matter. i Turkeys, if taken aright, are easily fattened; in fact, easier than most other fowls. But If turkeys have had free range all summer, you cannot fatten them with any satisfaction in an enclosure. The change will cause them to fret and' refuse' to eat and thus they will lose Instead of gabi in ?weight. On the other hand; if they range too much while being fattened, they will "run off' the beneficial ef fects of your extra feeding. The right plan is therefore a compromise be tween these two extremes. Teach the turkeys to come up every evening at least, and then stuff them with ali they will possibly eat. You will soon find them ranging at short distances only and coming up even between feeding times, where they should always be able to lind some sort of attractive food. Don't try to fatten the turkeys on corn alone. A close diet of new corn often results bi bovyl troubles for the turkeys just as it does for hogs, and a' sick turkey is usually a dead turk ey. Mix the fattening ration; variety ls desirable for several reasons. Equal Turkeys Fret and Refuse to Eat If in ah Enclosure. parts of wheat, oats and corn, make a good ration.. Give also an occasional mash feed of equal parts of corn . meal and wheat1 middlings which -. makes a very rich feed, especially if a quantity of ground beefscrap or green cut bone is added. As the turkey takes on fat, the N flesh turna t? ? rich golden color. If allowed reasonably free range while the fattening process is going on, the flesh gams in flavor and tenderness In a way lt cannot if the bird were fattened in close quarters. PROPER FEEDING BIG FACTOR No Matter How Good the Breeding \May Be, Good Care Must Be Given for) Best Results* Breeding plays an important part In successful poultry operation, but the factor of good feeding and the proper management of the flock plays a far more important part than many poultry keepers have been led to be lieve. Breeding, no matter how good, can accomplish but little in produc ing results unless backed by proper feeding and care. The best of breed ing will give but poor results if the proper care and feed are not com plied with. POULTRY TERMS . A poult ls a turkey in its first Nyear. \By a trio ls meant a male and two legales. What is known as a yearling hon is ene having laid 12 months. A breeding pen is usually made up of from six' to fourteen females and a male. A setting of eggs is usually counted at 12, although many poultrymeu give 15 eggs. When a chicken weighs between two and three pounds it is called a spring chicken. A pullet is a female less than a year old, and when over that age it is a hen. A stewing chicken weighs about three' pounds and a rooster four or more pounds. A broiler ls a bird weighing two pounds or less and which is six to twelve weeks old. A male bird less than a year old is known as a cockerel. When over a year old it ls a cock. A poularde Is a pullet deprived of the power of producing eggs, with the object of great size. Cramming is a system of forcing feed into young fowls, either by hand or machine, so as to put on extra flesh. The male chicken ls a cock and a male goose is a gander, the male duck a drake, th? male turkey a tom or gobbler. A cepon is a male bird deprived of its generative organs for the purpose of improving the weight and delicacy ?f Its carcass. CARE ESSENTIAL FOR YOUNG CALF Young Animals Should Be Fed Separately in Stanchions, Never Together in Trough. BREEDING GF CIS IMPORTANCE Breeder Should Be Careful to Give Them Same Amount of Milk at Same Temperature From Clean Buckets Every Day. The first important factor in raising good healthy calves ls breeding, and the second ls the care they receive be fore maturity. The proper feeding of the calf be gins before lt is born. Cows In a poor condition give birth to weak calves that are difficult to raise. A cow should be "dried ofT at least six weeks before calving. When about to "fresh .'en" she should be given a clean stall to avoid danger of Infection. If there Farmers Are Urged to Conserve Their Purebred Billi Calves Wherever Practical Instead, of Butchering Them. has been any white scours on the place the navel should be disinfected with tincture of Iodine Immediately after birth. Give Calf First Milk. The calf must have the first milk or colostrum, but may be taken from' Its mother on the second or third day. In case the cow should die ia calving or develop disease, like garget or milk fever, whole milk from another cow should be substituted, and the calf giv en two 05 three tablespoonfuls of castor oil. Whole milk should be fed until the calf ls two or three weeks old. Skim milk may be gradually substituted. It ls of the utmost importance that calves be fed the same amount of milk, at the same temperature, from clean buckets, at the same tin e each day. Never feed enough milk to quite sat isfy hunger. Sterilize the milk buck ets, which are used for feeding the calves, each day, the same as the milk cans. ' Don't Feed Together. You can't raise healthy calves by feeding several of them, of different sizes, In a trough. It ls economy to feed calves In stanchions, asserts Geo. H. Glover of the Colorado Agricultural college. They will spill less milk and cannot suck each other's ears, which ls detrimental. The fat that has been removed In skimming may In a meas ure be substituted by adding a handful of linseed or cornmeal to each pall of ml'k. Calves will begin to eat hay and grain at an early age, especially If they are In the same pen with older calves. The main thing In raising calves ls cleanliness, regularity, and freedom from overfeeding. CATTLE TUBERCULOSIS IN U. S. Map Made Showing Approximate Per centage of Animals Infected With Disease. Tests of thousands of herds through out the country have eaabled the United States Department of Agricul ture to make a map showing the ap proximate percentage of cattle in va rious states and counties Infected with tuberculosis. In nearly half the country, largely In the South and Southwest, lt ls shown that less than 1 per cent of the cattle have the disease. In other parts of the country the Infection runs from 1 to 15 per cent, and in still other localities, aggregating more than 50,000 square miles, more than 25 per cent are believed to be tuberculous. The figures are based on five years of systematic testing, and should prove of value In directing eradication Work. LEADERS IN EXTENSION WORK Reports . Show 42 Young Men and Women, Former Club Members, Now Community Chiefs. Reports to the United ?tates De partment of Agriculture show that 42 young men and women, who, as boys and girls, enrolled in club work to learn the best way to raise a pig, make bread, or do some other thing, are now acting as local leaders of ex tension work In their home communi ties In Colorado. A number of former club girls are leaders of canning, cloth ing and millinery clubs. A grown-up corn-club boy, now on a farm of hi? own, has been community chairman on crops and live stock and leader of the boys' club for two years. A stock judging team, which won lirst pince at the .Colorado state fair, was trained by a former duh member. The Case of Joe Tolbert. Senator Dial does not expect Jo seph Tolbert to be confirmed as United States Marshal for the West ern District of South Carolina, re gardless of the recent renewal of his nomination by President Harding. Tolbert's confirmation failed in the list session cf congress, but is brought up again by the president's action. It appears that Mr. Tolbert never ap peared before the sub-committee ap pointed to investigate the charge brought against him by Senator Dial, and it was for that reason his case failed in the last congress. Tolbert was summoned many times to appear but never did so. Upon Tolbert's second nomination by President Harding, Senator Dial again objected and a new sub-commit tee has been appointed consisting of Colt of Rhode Island; Brandegee, of Connecticut and Overman of North Carolina. If Mr. Tolbert appears to answer the opposition of Senator Dial these gentlemen of the senate will have the responsibility of report ing to the senate, upon the Tolbert case. It is understood that Mr. Tolbert's strength "with the president is because of the interest the Republican Na tional Committee has taken in his case. Tolbert is the ranking member of the national committee and has ap pealed to the committee to stand by him. The National committee is therefore urging the president to have Tolbert confirmed. Regardless j of these influences Senator Dial is still of the opinion the senate will not confirm Tolbert's appointment.- I Spartanburg Herald. VI!

A New York judge said last week that automobile accidents were be coming so numerous that it might be necessary to limit the number of pleasure cars in America's largest city. There is no doubt that the automo bile situation in large centers of pop ulation is becoming a larger prob lem, and the report of 53,000 deaths due to automobile accidents in this country during the past year has caused . considerable thinking among the people. Of course not near all automobile accidents are caused by intoxicated chauffeurs, but it is reasonable tc suppose that a good per cent of them are. A man with a tank full of gas and a body full of booze is a dangerous animal. The North Carolina legisla tor may be right in thinking that the fear of a road sentence would have a sobering effect upon the drunken driver.-Greenville News.
